Refer to your instruction manual for general set up of your machine.

Some common points to check are:

Check that the bobbin winder shaft is not pushed to the right if it is then push it to the left.

Check the machine is threaded correctly ensuring the threading line on the hand wheel is at the top position, this puts the needle into the correct position for threading. Also, make sure the presser foot is lifted before threading the machine.

Set your bobbin correctly into the machine. For top loading bobbins the thread needs to be going around the bobbin in an anti-clockwise direction. Use the guides on your machine or refer to your instruction manual.

If you have a mechanical machine, check that the foot is lowered before sewing. Computerised machines will remind you to do this.
